Make that four! 

Huge and cute! 

Holy moly what a big mouth! 

Did someone say love is in the air!?   

I compared my own pics of Yankee to these and I believe this is Yankee. So sad that he's lost his mate and that she will never fly free again. 

Welcome back Kat! 

Thanks for the information.  I didn't remember how late it was last year when things got started with Dot.Ca.  And I had forgotten that Beauty successfully defended her territory and did it right after release from rehab.  She's much stronger I'm sure by now and has a male who has bonded with her and hopefully would help her defend her territory.  However, I would hate to see anything happen to Pigott as well.  So hopefully she will get a male of her own and have her own nest and "family".

We all have the same hope for Pigott-fingers crossed! 

How long will Pigott hang around her territory without some male showing up?  I'm trying not to worry about her moving into Beauty's territory, but I'm thinking that if she doesn't get a mate soon, that's what might happen.  Could DC still show up?

Also, could her chosen nesting site be a possible deterent for passing tiercels?

I'm hoping Pigott feels like it's not a good idea to try and take on Beauty anymore. Even with help from DC last year she couldn't take over the territory. That being said if/when DC returns all bets are off. Like Donna said there have been many falcons that have visited the site over the years. Obviously we'd all like to see Pigott with her own mate. Time will tell.   

  So sorry Sage-I hope you get some rest and are able to find Diamante and Yankee next time out. We all appreciate your efforts in an obviously sad situation at both sites.   

A slight improvement sounds good to me! 

Good for them!

Yeah what she said! 

Oh boy-not good! 

Love it!

MAKfalcon (MAK): After a call saying a possble battle ensued over the river I came DT to check. I Just saw UT attempt to mate B on OCSR Top ibeam

Any more on signs of a battle?  I hope not.  Especially after seeing the pic of UT   at NB with sloppy red  feet and face. 

I saw UT fly up to and land at the nest box and I also watched Beauty flying over the river and land on OCSR. They both seemed fine without any visible signs of injury. The blood on UT was most likely from a meal. I don't believe he would be trying to mate with Beauty if he was hurt. That's the best answer I can give you Margaret.

That was quite the zoom job!
